When the time of man is done, let our cities stand as cenotaphs & our great works as silent tombs. Let us leave behind only shadows that dwell in darkness as of a modern Sheol. The human race will fall, and mere shadows of our greatness remain to stand mute guardians through the ages.

lyrics

Behold the final night
Sins await our curtain call
Hand of end has swept this land
All gather as last night falls

Let mourning set the stage
Colder days now given birth
Shutter age of man away
And let our shadows rule the earth

Sing notes of dim refrain
Guttered lights in feral eyes
Dumb beasts now roam untamed
Seal of longing & fading sighs
